After appearing in two number one movies in 2009, Paul Blart: Mall Cop and The Hangover, Mike V is once again going Hollywood as he scored a role in the remake of the 80’s blockbuster a rel=nofollow target=_blank href=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1234719/Red Dawn/a. Mike plays an arms dealer in the film and also evades explosions and gun fire while doing stunt work as a Russian Soldier in the film due out a year from now in November of 2010. He had to cut off his long hair and beard for the role, which was time to hit the reset button anyway, the movie role just gave me a good excuse to get a haircut.

The first incarnation of Element came in the form of a small collaborative, East Coast company called Underworld Element. Most often referred to as Underworld, the company was inspired by the hip-hop movement and used a mixture of urban styles and reflected a raw and controversial vibe. Soon after its inception, Underworld was plagued with many challenges, and the business began to collapse. Its original crew had all moved on, and Johnny was left with two choices: either turn the struggling brand around, or abandon Underworld altogether and start something entirely new.brbr /img src=http://ll.broadbandsports.com/images/29787_thumb.jpg alt=Make it Count - Chapter 2 Water title=Make it Count - Chapter 2 Water width=150 height=90 alt=Make it Count - Chapter 2 Water/brbr
